Subject: infinite loop? out of memory? extract is failing
I'm using W::A::W 1.4 on Windows XP home. For the last several days, when I try to fetch my wishlist, perl seems to go into an infinite loop and using more and more memory until my computer hangs. Perhaps Amazon.com changed the page format? I looked at the code, it never returns from the call to extract().
To be honest I'm not really maintaining WWW::Amazon::Wishlist that much since the amazon interface seems to be changing almost weekly and my approach seemed to be very brittle. It's a pity because the Net::Amazon interface doesn't seem to give all the information I need (like date added).
(It's kind of funny that I revisit this module every Christmas... ) I have this fixed and working for 90% of the test cases... With your permission, I would like to upload a new version to CPAN. In fact, with your permission, I would be happy to take over maintenance of the distro... -- - - Martin 'Kingpin' Thurn
I've made you a co-maintainer on PAUSE. God speed and good luck. May the good ship Wishlist continue forward.
Converted to HTML::TreeBuilder rather than Template. Code is working fine and new distro uploaded to CPAN a couple weeks ago.
